Think I need to polish up the car and bits ive sprayed and see how they compare before deciding what to do with it.
if anything you need to machine polish the rest of the car, not the bits you've painted
That whats I ment the whole car needs polishing, bloady perlecent paint, looks as dull as anything at the moment, but I need to polish what ive sprayed as well to get the gloss look instead of the matt look.

do you have any advice where to go???
Already been said but find a local bodyshop and get them to mix some for you, won't be cheap mind you.
#23: Re: paint colour Author: tweet, Location: liverpoolPosted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:00 am ---- wet flat it with 2000 grit and machine polish it, or wet flat with 2000 grit and apply a better lacquer

not a bodyshop, a bodyshop suppliers is what you need, 99% of bodyshops only mix paint for sprayguns and won't sell it
not that expensive tbh, my local paint supplers does it for around £7 a can Last edited by tweet on Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:02 am; edited 1 time in total
